Crowd-funding website Kickstarter is being sued for its promotion of a new 3D printer. More than 2,000 users contributed over $2.9m (£1.8m) to help Massachusetts-based Formlabs build the device. However, 3D Systems - a leading maker of printers that turn computer design files into real-world objects - has alleged one of its patents was being infringed by the machine. It has also filed a lawsuit against Formlabs itself. From http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20434031 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-20434031
